The Forbidden City, the world's largest group of ancient palaces, with a mysterious color, all say that after walking into the Forbidden City, you will not be able to distinguish what is a legend, what is true, what is history, in fact, for people, do not need to see the old palace wall, the vicissitudes of the palace, just hear the word Forbidden City, you will have infinite fascination, it is this unique charm.

The Forbidden City is one of the most popular choices for tourists all over the world, famous, and cultural relics restorers are an absolutely unpopular niche profession, they may have heard of it, but ordinary people have almost never come into contact with it, and their existence is more mysterious than the Forbidden City that can be visited by buying a ticket today.

The Forbidden City, cultural relics, cultural relics restorers, it sounds like a full score, which makes fans excited!

"This must be an epic blockbuster!"

Before the show started, everyone thought so, full of thrilling scenes when restoring cultural relics, the excitement and pleasure brought by the adrenaline rush, coupled with the consistent style of DreamWorks, it felt like it had exploded.

However, after the show began, none of the magnificent pictures imagined in the minds of fans appeared, and the story began with the "90th Anniversary Celebration Exhibition" to be held in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and the various cultural relics restoration departments of the Forbidden City received arrangements to select the precious cultural relics selected from the cultural relics of the past dynasties and send them to the exhibition site for display after renovation.

Cultural relics restorers do not have the mystery they imagine, such as serious and stereotyped, or all gray-haired masters, this is completely speculation with a strong subjective color, the first section of the restoration of the longevity screen in the work of a few shots, and you can even see that there are many post-80s and post-90s.

"This is the restorer?"

"Those young ones, shouldn't they?"

"I guess it's just helping with chores, and the real master must not have come out yet. ”

Until the narrator-kun said,

"They are ordinary Forbidden City staff themselves, but in fact, they are the top cultural relics restoration experts, and they are the doctors who treat the top cultural relics in this country. ”

I don't know if it's an official complaint, because for the time being, they are no different from ordinary people, mediocre, and the slow pace and narrative style in the film also disappointed the audience who were full of expectations.

"It's a bit boring!"

"I believe it, this is really a very serious documentary!"

"It's so serious, it's so boring, I want to give up at the beginning. ”

"Disappointed, although Wanshou Ping is very exquisite, won't we just watch them sweep the dust and sweep the whole episode, right?"

Compared with the fast pace of the five-minute episode of "If National Treasures Could Talk", five minutes have passed in this film, and there is no explosion point, not a single ignition point, which makes fans who have just come from the pit of "If National Treasure Could Talk" a little sleepy.

At this moment, there was a crisp bell, which made people's spirits shake, okay, give the pit owner a face, then watch it for another five minutes, and if it doesn't work in five minutes, I will turn the table again......

Thinking like this in their hearts, they didn't know that from this moment on, they would never think about turning the table again......

The picture turned to the clock restoration team, Master Wang Jin went online, he was repairing a pair of exquisite copper-plated country music water clocks, the original owner of this clock was Emperor Qianlong, the melodious sound of the clock was accompanied by the narrator's faint tone to introduce the background of the origin, only to feel inexplicably excited!

"Oh my God!"

"Emperor Qianlong's things!"

"It's so beautiful, was there such a superb mechanical craftsmanship at that time?"

"I suddenly feel that Master Wang is the winner in life, haha!"

"Envy, if only I could touch it!"

The close-up of the lens shows the exquisite details of this copper-gilded country music water clock, but I heard Master Wang Jin say that this kind of large clock is rare even in the British Museum, and the West is the birthplace of clocks, and I am inexplicably proud.

And what is more attractive than the clock and watch relics is Master Wang Jin himself, maybe people who work hard always have a halo on their heads, or maybe the elegant literati temperament of Master Wang is very attractive, watching him knock and beat, but he can't take his eyes off at all.

What's even more powerful is that this inconspicuous Master Wang is the heir to the clock restoration skills that have been passed down without faults in the Forbidden City, and the clock restoration skills of the Forbidden City are now intangible cultural heritage, and even when Pu Yi was kicked out of the palace, the watchmakers were still able to stay in the Forbidden City.

After the masters left, Wang Jin and his apprentice Qi Haonan are now the only court watch restorers in the Forbidden City. ”

The narrator's tone was still faint, but the audience was all on fire, the real court no longer existed, but the ingenuity was still passed down from generation to generation!

"!!!"

"A sense of déjà vu of a master in the folk, haha!"

"It's blowing up, palace restorer, mom feels that the grade is different in an instant!"

"Haha, I knew that there were all great gods in this!"

"Ask weakly, Master Wang, do you still lack apprentices? I want to learn too!"

"Master is above, please be bowed by the disciple!"

......

Ten minutes later, the film is still very flat, the rhythm is slow and there are no waves, just like the scene of restoring the country's treasures and not like the trembling and nervous excitement that people think, it is more just an understatement, but the more the audience watches it, the more they feel that it is flavorful, and the cuteness is constant.

Only then did I know that the Forbidden City still retains the ancient tradition of master and apprentice, only to know that the way to the restoration institute has to go through seven gates, and only then did I know that the Forbidden City has a long-standing saying that the Forbidden City is haunted at night, so those who come early should shout!

"I'm afraid there's some small animal or something here, especially if it comes out after rubbing it. ”

Master Wang Youliang happily uncovered the real mystery, which made the audience laugh, and when he fed the "descendants of the palace royal cat" in the mouth of the narrator, the "idiot sound" belonging to the cat slave instantly attracted countless fans.

"Hahahaha!!"

"Master Wang Youliang is so cute!"

"Awesome, palace cat!"

"The cats in the Forbidden City are really not ordinary cats!"

"Poof~!, the palace royal shovel officer!"

......

If you want to compare with Master Wang Youliang, there is probably only the next Master Wang Wusheng, in the ceramic group, Wang Wusheng is "daily bickering" with his apprentice Dou Yicun,

"Slimy. ”

"What's that?"

"Then who knows, you got it. ”

"How could it be me. ”

"You didn't get it?"

"I found out that I don't know who got it all on my head. ”

Dou Yicun was very aggrieved, and the female apprentice next to him, Ji Dongge, couldn't hold back his laughter, and the audience laughed with tears in their eyes.

"Hahahaha!"

"Funny!"

"Sample, do you still dare to talk back? It's you!"

"If you don't carry this pot, you have to carry it, otherwise you will be expelled from the division hahaha!"

However, it is this kind of small fragments of life that looks very small and small dialogues that fascinate the audience the most.

Of course, this game is still won by Master Wang Youliang, when watching him ride a small battery car to perform a special task - smoking a cigarette after work, the cutest title in this issue is already unable to run away.

Riding out to smoke a cigarette is such a simple scene, but it is so moving.

And the most impressive part of the first episode is the part where Wang Jin takes his apprentice to the watch exhibition.

As soon as you leave the Forbidden City, it is another world.

In the 21st century, China has become the world's second largest economy after 30 years of rapid development. "Gold in troubled times, collecting in prosperous times", the collection industry has also entered an unprecedented period of prosperity.

Wang Jin brought his apprentices to participate in a private watch exhibition, where collectors and brand owners flocked to the scene as magnificent as the United Nations venue.

Here, Mr. Huang and Wang Jin, famous watch collectors from Taiwan, form the most interesting set of contrasts.

At the venue, everyone scrambled to see Mr. Huang's collection of the pocket watch given to her beloved daughter by Queen Victoria, and in the midst of admiration, Wang Jin just listened to him quietly and did not say anything.

When the collector heard that Wang Jin was a clock restorer in the Forbidden City, he repeatedly asked if the Forbidden City had such a watch, and after hearing Wang Jin smile shyly and shaking his head and saying that there was no similar, he said with a satisfied smile,

"As long as I have two or three things that the Forbidden City doesn't have, I'm very happy. ”

The audience is going crazy,

"Hahahaha!"

"Nani, you actually want to compete with the Forbidden City?"

"Through the screen, I can feel that Master Wang is laughing out loud in my heart at this moment!"

Faced with Mr. Huang's expression of praising me and praising me, Master Wang could only give an embarrassed but polite smile. ”

"Haha, it's so cute. ”

......

Of course, the audience's complaints are all jokes, Mr. Huang is very cute, and the comparison between the two makes people see two different realms and pursuits.

Collectors value the added value of the queen's signature for pocket watches, and it is a pleasure to be able to use wealth to seek what they like, but for Wang Jin, the more fun is to restore a cultural relic from thousands of years ago and pass it on in his own hands.

The hustle and bustle of the Shengshi Collection, compared with the authenticity of the artist, whether it is a collector or a palatial commercial venue, Wang Jin is neither welcome nor disappointed, he knows who he is, compared with most people in the magnificent venue, Wang Jin looks different, like washed with water, extraordinarily simple.

The Imperial Collection, one of the best in the world, is full of artifacts that are seen and handled, and the day-to-day immersion in mechanical restorations accurate to 0.1 mm brings a spirit of detachment to a restorer like Wang Jin, who has long since transcended the material level and focused more on the value of craftsmanship.

Although the artifacts he restored with his own hands never belonged to him, and will never belong to him. But this does not prevent each craftsman from restoring it, the story of his own and the cultural relics, and the feelings left behind.

When Wang Jin stood in the exhibition hall and quietly looked at the clocks that he had repaired when he was young, the tourists who came and went, no one cared about this distracted man, how could tourists imagine that it was this lean elder who passed by him who restored the incomparably magnificent and interesting national treasure clocks in their eyes, as if regenerating.

In the end, it is the work that he has participated in the restoration, each one, Wang Jin can tell their characteristics, when they were repaired, what was broken at the time, very proud, but also very disappointed, and finally put his hands behind his back, smiled at the camera and said "It's a little distressing to watch".

What is distressing?

I feel sorry that the essence of my hard work to restore it has not been displayed, and visitors cannot see the brilliance of its interpretation, nor can they see his craftsmanship, the limitations of the exhibition, and the regrets and regrets of the craftsmen.

The life of a distressed person is too short, time passes in the blink of an eye, his career has entered his old age, and he will soon have no chance to restore these precious cultural relics and clocks.

The audience is also very distressed, this indescribable complex emotion is not exaggerated too much in the film, but when they see the reluctance and regret in Mr. Wang Jin's eyes, no matter how cold-blooded they are, they can't be moved.

Time is passing, wordless, but a clock can record it.

The man who repaired the clock, repaired the clock that recorded the time, and dedicated his life to repairing the clock, and the traces of his life were also recorded in his own clock, and then he was taken away without a word.

What kind of enthusiasm do you have for your profession to reach his kind of realm? There are many people like Master Wang Jin, and there are many people in the Palace Museum Cultural Relics Restoration Institute.

Master Wang Wusheng is also about to retire, while repairing the three-color horse, while casually talking about his life plan after retirement,

"My plan is, the first thing I do is to change to a car, maybe it's a buggy, maybe it's an RV. ”

"Nowadays, young people are playing what is paragliding, and I love to think about it, and I always want to try it myself......"

The comparison is here again, the master is looking forward to the retirement life, but the camera is frequently given to the apprentice Dou Yicun who is busy with new equipment Google glass, the master has retired and there is a new heir relay, the traditional craftsmanship is inherited and is also developing at the same time, constantly integrating high-tech equipment and tools to make the restoration and protection of cultural relics more scientific, more convenient and more perfect, and then thinking of the female apprentice who loved to laugh and asked the photographer "Ceramics are interesting, right?", tears fell instantly.

The old generation is about to retire again, and the new generation is really thriving, and there is no straightforward sensational language at all, it is as plain as water, in the subtleties, but it incites everyone to fly.

The three-color horse has been repaired and restored to its radiant appearance, the work of the ceramic group continues, and the next one is the terracotta army.

The copper-gilded country music water clock was also repaired, and the audience was lucky to see it fully functional.

The moment the beautiful music played, the audience had goosebumps and their scalps tingling.

Watch the doors open under the shade of the trees on the clock, the boats sail in the river, the swans writhe, and the chicks wave their wings...... Master Wang Jin smiled like a child, and the audience also laughed like a child, and the first episode of the show also came to an end.

When the end of the subtitles appeared, the fans came back to their senses,

"I've actually finished reading it?"

......
